A combination of TERT promoter mutation and MGMT methylation status predicts clinically relevant subgroups of newly diagnosed glioblastomas

TL;DR: The findings suggest that a combination of IDH, TERT, and MGMT refines the classification of grade II-IV diffuse gliomas, and patients with TERT mutant-MGMT unmethylated GBM have the poorest prognosis.
Journal ArticleDOI

Genetic and epigenetic stability of oligodendrogliomas at recurrence

TL;DR: Although oligodendroglioma displays marked mutational heterogeneity, histological malignant transformation accompanying events such as considerable increase in mutation number and epigenetic profile change were not observed at recurrence, indicating that noticeable temporal and spatial genetic heterogeneity in oligodendedrogliomas does not result in rapid tumor progression.
Journal ArticleDOI

Distinct molecular profile of diffuse cerebellar gliomas.

TL;DR: DNA methylation profile analysis demonstrated that all DCGs except for those with H3F3A mutations were categorized in the “RTK I (PDGFRA)” group, and those DCGs had a gene expression signature that was highly associated with PDGFRA, and promoter methylation of transcription factors genes associated with glial development showed a characteristic pattern presumably reflecting their tumor origin.
Journal ArticleDOI

Brachyury gene copy number gain and activation of the PI3K/Akt pathway: association with upregulation of oncogenic Brachyury expression in skull base chordoma

TL;DR: Activation of the PI3K/Akt pathway and Brachyury copy number gain are strongly associated with Brachyuries overexpression, which appears to be a key event in chordoma growth regulation.
